depends what you're looking for. if you want looks, 18" RG-R's just won't do it (talking from experience, i had 18" RS-GT's & they looked too small); if you want quality go w/ the RG-R's, they're cast, i'm not too sure of the rep's quality, it'll be interesting to see of any fanatics run these this winter & if so, how they hold up running through potholes
